TESLA Group a.s., a pioneer in battery energy storage systems (BESS), and SRAM & MRAM Group, a global leader in technology and sustainable development, have inked a landmark $1 billion agreement to set up more than 20 giga factories worldwide, with five facilities planned in India.
The partnership aims to reshape the green energy storage sector and support global efforts to meet the Paris Climate Accord’s target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, with greenhouse gas emissions peaking before 2025 and declining by 43% by 2030.
The giga factories—spanning Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, multiple Indian states, the U.S., Malaysia, Oman, Brazil, UAE, Cambodia, Australia, and Nigeria—will form one of the largest battery manufacturing and storage supply chains for electric vehicles globally. Each facility, spread across 500 acres, is expected to employ up to 100,000 people.
While TESLA Group a.s. will spearhead the design, engineering, and construction, SRAM & MRAM Group will manage approvals, incentives, and local partnerships.
“This partnership is a game-changer for the global clean energy transition,” said Nanda K. Bhagi, President of TESLA Group a.s. “By combining our advanced BESS technology with SRAM’s global expertise, we are not only building factories but also fostering vibrant communities that will drive the future of sustainable energy.”
Dr. Sailesh L. Hiranandani, Chairman of SRAM & MRAM Group, added, “We are thrilled to partner with TESLA Group a.s. on this groundbreaking initiative. Our expertise in technology, healthcare, and global operations will catalyze innovation in renewable energy and biotechnology, creating jobs, advancing technology, and delivering economic benefits across 20 nations.”
In India, the five giga factories are expected to strengthen the country’s Net Zero 2070 commitment by supporting renewable energy expansion, energy efficiency measures, and hydrogen production initiatives.
